Hey, if you want a negligible price tag and aren't very picky about quality (I'm assuming you won't wear this much) it would be interesting to try buying from these people:

It's cheaper than cheap.
I don't want to guess what a $50 made-to-measure evening suit from Vietnam will get you, but it would interesting to try it and report back to us on it.
Just don't buy the ones with notch lapels.

I had been toying with the idea of having a 6 x 3 double-breasted suit made (three rows, no display buttons). I've seen it look cool in old photos and vintage fashion illustrations.
But now after seeing so many of them on that terrifying website, I don't think I can bring myself to do it. Rats.

Running off during the final fitting is an option I intend to use more often in the future.

Amazing to think that such a range of style and quality could exist within just one country.

The level of creativity displayed by some designers is simply not matched by bespoke tailors who are artisans rather than conceptual...

Example and evidence?
